In the Busan venue in South Korea, representatives from 8 teams were standing on both sides of the stage. The lucky draw guest in the middle, Watch, had already opened the black ball in the No. 1 seed pool.

He slowly took out the ribbon.

"The first team to be drawn is IG!" Miller explained to everyone in the LPL commentary box. "According to the principle that teams in the same group will not meet before the finals, then TL who is second in the same group will be divided

In the lower half.”

Li Nian was still in a daze, but the lottery guest had already drawn the second black ball.

"Since the division results are drawn first, there are three easter eggs in the basin containing the top names of other groups!" Wawa continued to explain, "Our three teams are all seeded No. 1, which means there will be no winners in the quarterfinals.

There is a civil war."

"but."

"Two teams will be divided into a half zone. If they both win their opponents, they will meet in the semi-finals."

"Hopefully we can see a civil war in our LPL division!"

"The second team in the top half is."

The easter egg with the RNG team logo slowly appeared in front of everyone.

Prince Ning, who was standing next to Li Nian, muttered unconsciously and looked at the friendly troops next to him with a somewhat resentful look.

Obviously, their own division just concluded the LPL summer finals, and IG won with an absolute advantage of 3:0.

Who is strong and who is weak has already been determined within the competition area.

If we really meet IG in the semi-finals, we will be one year away from the most promising year.

It’s so difficult!

Immediately afterwards, the ribbons of EDG and FW appeared in the lower half.

In the panel displayed on the large screen at the scene, the four groups were placed in the four corners respectively.

The four teams ranked second in the group will be drawn soon, which will directly determine the results of the top 8 knockout matches.

Now, in the second seeded team, except for the eldest brother, whose expression is normal, the other three players are all a little nervous.

After all, the next draw result will face the IG team that is the favorite to win the championship.

No one wants to meet them before the finals.

However, although his expression was abnormal, Mr. Dai was a little excited.

They have wanted to beat IG for a long time.

This year in the Intercontinental Championship, the only chance they had to compete was broken by RW.

Now we face it again.

Mr. Dai hopes that his team can defeat the strong team IG in the top 8.

Otherwise, even in the finals, it would be impossible to cross IG's body.

Li Nian didn't care, since he would hit anyone anyway.

The second place among these groups is actually just that.

Under the instructions of the Roaring Emperor, the lottery guest walked up to the glass cover of the No. 2 seed pool, put his hand in, and stirred for a long time before taking out one of the seeds.

Just when everyone was holding their breath.

The TL team logo appeared in front of everyone.

The Roaring Emperor breathed a sigh of relief, "Then according to the rules, TL will be assigned to the lower half, and the result of the battle will be EDG!"

Meiko's face was filled with joy.

If we look at the weakest of the other three teams besides KT, it is TL.

But for TL, if they face FW, they still have a chance to reach the semi-finals, but if they face the three giants of the LPL, they will probably be far away this year.

"So who will be on our IG team?" Miller watched the second black ball being opened expectantly, and carefully looked at the ribbon in front of him, "KT from the LCK division!"

Since the teams in the same group as EDG in the lower half are not together, no avoidance principle is triggered, and IG and KT are only connected.

At this moment, Prince Ning suddenly held his breath.

At this moment, there is no need to look at the draw anymore. According to the avoidance principle, FNC in the group will naturally be assigned to FW.

And G2 was allocated to RNG.

The top eight divisions are announced.

First half: IG vs. KT, RNG vs. G2.

Second half: EDG vs. TL, FW vs. FNC.

When the Korean spectators in the stands saw this kind of draw, their originally hopeful mood suddenly dropped.

"It's over, the LCK's most impressive record has appeared."

"IG is indeed invincible. The showdown between the LCK and LPL No. 1 seeds feels a bit interesting!"

"If the old captain can suppress Brother Nian's rhythm, it will probably be effective. Deft in the bottom lane can suppress Jack."

The domestic audience laughed, but Korean netizens started to act like ostriches diving.

I don’t know how to win this lottery!

KT went through overtime in the group stage and failed to defeat RNG to gain the second seed. This was already the worst result.

Unexpectedly.

Watch's Hand of God directly sent his team into the abyss, what's the point of it?

Li Nian shook hands with Deft, who was much shorter, and then led him away from the stage like his younger brother.

Representative players from several other teams were still waiting in the backstage common room. The optimistic leader Ah P was the first to come to Li Nian and ask for a photo.

Caps looked at Perkz's optimistic face and couldn't help but feel a little heavy.

Although they cannot meet IG before the finals, can the previous teams defeat them?

The Hat King really doesn’t know.

As the spring and summer double champions of the division, European audiences have high hopes for this veteran e-sports team and feel that they can overcome all obstacles and win the game to enter the semi-finals.

Even at a higher place, re-create the S1 Internet Cafe League championship scene.

This is expectation and also shackles.

On the other hand, G2, after being disbanded by IG last year, the players who re-formed the team this year are all optimistic and have good strength.

The group photos of several team star players were quickly completed.

Except for Xiaomao, who was a little depressed, the other players had smiles on their faces.

Then Li Nian was puzzled. His team uniform was taken away by Ah P, a bastard, and he called it a swap of team uniforms.

After returning to the lounge, Li Nian returned to the hotel training room with the team members.

This year’s World Championship schedule is very tight.

After finishing the group stage on the 17th, the knockout rounds for the semi-finals will begin on October 20th.

IG will have to face KT first.

Moreover, a BO5 will be played every afternoon and morning, and the top four spots will be reached within two days.

There is not much time left for the eight teams to study each other.

How to adapt to the version is the most important thing.

Kkoma put the information about the KT team on the projection panel, accurately introducing the information about the team.

Semb, who is on the road, used to be the top top laner in the legendary team ROX Tiger, and was recruited countless times by Kim Jong-kyun in S7.

But in the end, he was rejected by this young and frivolous young man.

If S7 Peanut and Semb can come to SKT at the same time, then in last year's World Championship, they would have the possibility of competing with the IG team for the championship.

After all, Huni and Xiaohei are really having fun!

Coupled with the stretched hips of Bang and Wolf, if Lee Sang-hyuk’s Galio proficiency hadn’t been maxed out, he probably wouldn’t have even made it to the finals.”

Jungler Score is also a veteran who has experienced hundreds of battles. Both his experience and awareness helped the team gain many advantages in the early stage.

Li Nian was not very impressed with this player, but there are still no two players in the LCK who can suppress the carnivorous jungler who can suppress Xiaoxiao.

This is one of them.

As for Ucal in the middle, a newcomer took over the position of fat general after coming to KT, and he performed very well in both lane and support.

KT's bottom lane is the key.

Deft and Mata, two three-star blue and white ancient players, are far superior to IG in terms of laning and awareness.

Jack has just entered the LPL for a year. If he really competes online, he will probably suffer a lot.
